TODESSTOSS 8th full-lenght will be out this autumn on I, Voidhanger records! This album will contain one cyclopic track of over 46 minutes and deal with the secrets of the consciousness and the beyond world.

Three exclusive prints come with "Spiegel-MC"

Finally some news about the upcoming "Spiegel der Urängste"-MC coming with new artwork, a bonus track and optional three different exclusive prints, fans can choose to add only to this release when ordering.

Let me present you the details about these prints:

1st print

background info:referring to the title song "Spige der Urängste" directly, this time the even older alternate version of this motive from 2004

background info:referring to the song "Blutmeer" directly, the photo is not a collage, the old organ was standing on the beach of Falkenberg area, Sweden, so this instrument was really played on the photo!

Generally these three prints are exclusive offers, never to be offered again, please order your print writing an email, as always postage will be calculated the lowest possible; all prints come with hanging material and canvas with wedges. You may choose even more (different!) prints with one MC, but no motive more than once.

This offer lasts only 21 days for 11 prints!!! Starting on day x, that will be announced soon.

Orders only via the Shop. Prices and further infos are available on request (including MC, excluding postage).

Friends, comrades and supporters, have a good time!

TODESSTOSS "Hirngemeer" CD

Lead by German musician, poet and painter Martin Lang, TODESSTOSS (in German, “Deathblow”) have always been a trapdoor to weird places beyond our common, boring existences. They have walked through the 2000’s refusing musical stereotypes in favor of a surreal, lunatic and experimental dark metal language that with “Hirngemeer” - their 7th and best work to date - finds a perfect balance between the early days’ depressive black metal tendencies and the more psychotic nature of the last years’ offerings.

Spiritually not so distant from acts like Burzum, Bethlehem, Urfaust or Circle Of Ouroborus, TODESSTOSS use black metal, dark rock and electronic ambient like colors on big canvas, painting a hallucinating scenario of mental ruins, a theatrical stage where their nightmares and fears materialize to perform a tragedy of insanity and despair. It’s a Theatre of the Absurd, emphasized by anguishing screams, bizarre lyrics, and black metal riffs menacingly suspended in the air like clouds of locusts, attracted by the cold and primitive dark-wave pulse of the rhythm section.

“Hirngemeer”, a non-existing term made by the German words “Gehirn” (brain) and “Meer” (sea), is the spectacle of a mental collapse and decomposition; a barefoot walk on a carpet of shattered mirrors, each fragment reflecting distorted images of the self.

Available as a CD in jewel case housed in a cardboard slipcase. 20-page full color booklet. Visual art by Martin Lang, layout by Francesco Gemelli.

Update July 2015

- First of all the less good news, the boardgame development is on the hold because of the lack of test gamers, believe it or not, no one seems to be interested, hehe.

- Then, I decided to use the already recorded Todesstoß song for the planned Split release with Venuspuls for an upcoming double album and it will even be the title song for this gigantic opus.

- Good news: The "Hirngemeer" album, Todesstoß' 7th full-lenght will be out in September through a new partner I signed with. More news to be announced soon; the CD will come as a slipcase with 20-pages-booklet

- Further plans in the nearer future:

* Finishing the 8th album until the end of october* Recording new titles for the Todesstoß/Venuspuls Split and a new EP* Finishing the instrumental recordings for the double album until the end of the year, to be followed by the vocal recordings next year

- For now I gave up painting and writing short stories ( a last story will be out in the upcoming Live Eclipse zine, that shall see the light of day finally in august) and really try to concentrate on music, photography and writing song lyrics

Best regardsMartin July 2015

Martin's own boardgame in the works

I have already started to work on an own boardgame. This game will be of abstract nature, a kind of mix between Chess, Kamisado or maybe Barragoon. It's based on figures and for two players.The game is now going through many tryouts and test games to fix the rules finally before thinking of production and distro aspects.

I need more players!: Any people interested in abstract board games in Dresden area who can imagine to participate in test games in the nearer future, get in touch!

TODESSTOSS / VENUSPULS 7" Split EP planned

Recordings of a planned Split release between Todesstoß and Venuspuls have begun.Two new tracks of both projects will be presented.

Any dedicated label with an interest to release this in 2015 on seven or ten inch vinyl, don't hesitate to get in touch for a possible cooperation!Compositions, lyrics and artwork are ready to be combined to a new expressive output.

New album for 2015 in preparation

With the line up of Euer Gnaden, Flesh of L. and me, Todesstoß is working on a new album, that is designated to be released in spring 2015. Its title will be "Hirngemeer" and present nearly 80 minutes of an epic, obscure surrealistic oeuvre. The songlist exists of three titles pushing boundaries of the possible and obvious. Though it will be something completely new, borrowings to "Sauglingshängwerk Aushilfsheins", "Menschenscheuche" and "Sehnsucht" may be audible.More updates to be announced soon!

Distrolist / Wholesale

*TODESSTOSS – Todesstoß, CD (DVD-Case + DVD sized booklet, golden disc), TK001The self titled, 4th full-length by a visionary of extraordinary and surrealistic Black / Dark Metal is the "darkest" album so far, dealing with a personal underworld where wisdom is forged in fires of pain. A walk through PLUTO’s gate and back! Welcome to a new fancy tale of woe: human existence.

*TODESSTOSS – Sauglingshängwerk Aushilfsheins, CD (Slipcase-CD), TK002The 5th full-length “Sauglingshängwerk Aushilfsheins” is the "strangest" album so far, dealing with antinatalistic fantasies and the corrosive spirit of the age. Follow J. BLACK, the fictional protagonist, fulfilling his deed as a temporary worker for DEATH INC. People, who have never listened to the varied sounds of the 121-cult TODESSTOSS so far: at least concerning this release friends of old Darkthrone, Bethlehem and The Cure might get thrilled.

(Editions of the CDs including extras are not for wholesale/trade. But of course the regular editions are)

Only selected trades possible!

Available now!

You won't get this with a fucking download!

YouTube / Uploads

Everybody thinking of uploading songs of Todesstoß or Venuspuls to YouTube or the internet, don't do this anymore! You're violating my copyrights and I am going to utilise them, deleting all uploads on YouTube, that I don't want to be there: so it would be a waste of your precious time. If I want to upload music to the internet, I will do this by myself, in a suitable quality, maybe soon with an own channel. Uncontrolled uploads don't lead only to promotion, but to slow elimination of my label, for which I fight every single day, working my ass off!I am sure you're able to use your time more reasonable, instead of caring about things you shouldn't do. Generally I am not against new medias and I use them, too, but I don't upload things to the web, I don't have the right to.Thanks for understanding; hoping for your cooperation!
